Day 2,042: camp, panoply, untethered
The Trump camp argues that what counts is America’s strength, and that this will lead to peace with China.
America, they say, needs to re-establish deterrence; and the panoply of “madman” diplomacy, pragmatism and the accumulation of economic and military strength is the way to do it.
When the use of power is untethered by values, the result can be chaos on a global scale.

Quote of the day
“One more thing,” Ash said in his dangerous, soft voice as we turned away. “If you do not return with her,” Ash continued, staring him down, “if she comes to any harm while she is with you, I will turn this entire camp into a bloodbath. That is my promise, lieutenant.”
